Here I am on Woman's Hour talking about the impact of the Autumn Statement 2015 on women on behalf of the Women's Budget Group. Have a listen here!

Oxfam Social Innovation Boost
In February I took part in a 2.5 day innovation process to help Oxfam come up with some great ideas for how to solve women's poverty. It was amazing, exhausting and emotional. You can see me in my various states of dress in this video below.
Big up to the women from SkillsNet, Marginal Voices and City Gateway Women's Project. Also look out for my GENIUS idea on a post-it "more bloody money"….
Beyond homo economicus: Making positive change in the economy by challenging traditional assumptions about gender – my interview with Womanthology.
Delighted to be interviewed by Fiona for Womanthology – a completely wicked stealth-feminist blog. My interview came in a series around economics during World Economic Forum at Davos 2016.
Full interview available here or read it below:
Polly Trenow is a campaigner on gender, economics and education who has worked in women's rights and gender equality since 2005. She is a freelance campaigner on gender equality working with schools, local government and charities and she currently holds several different roles, including sitting on the Management Committee of the Women's Budget Group and working as Senior Policy and Campaigns Officer at the Fawcett Society. Last November, Polly became the 2016 Esmée Fairbairn Gender Equality Fellow on the Clore Social Leadership Programme.
"…We've…got to change the cultural pressures on men, for whom it's often still seen as unacceptable to take time off to care. Gender stereotyping works both ways so men are disadvantaged too, and that's something else that we need to challenge…"
Getting interested in working at the interface between gender and economics and saving the world
I think it was my degree. I studied Social Anthropology and as part of that I did a module on Gender and Trade. That was looking at how societies organise their economies, and what importance they place, if any, about what gender you are when you're trading. I didn't realise at the time how interesting I thought it was, but then when I left university I decided: "I want to save the world!" It seemed obvious that I should try and improve women's equality, so that's what I went for.
I started off volunteering in the women's sector, working for a variety of different international development charities and UK charities. I became a trustee of a Zimbabwe women's organisation (and I hadn't even been to Zimbabwe!). I felt really at home and I loved what I was doing, and the people I was working with.
I then get my first job working in the Women's National Commission, which was a quango – a quasi non-governmental equality organisation – and that was fascinating because we were based within the Civil Service, but we were theoretically independent. I got my first understanding of the challenges of talking to people in positions of power and how to manage what you're saying to them.
No compromising: Making change from the outside shouting in
I had this great boss when I was doing one of my internships – a proper old-school feminist, who said to me: "Polly. There are two ways to make change. You're either on the inside, or you're on the outside shouting in. If you're on the outside shouting in you don't really have to compromise what you say, but if you're on the inside you do." So I thought, "I don't want to compromise what I say! So rather than doing something like being in the Civil Service or being a Government adviser, I'm going to stick to charities and campaigning."
So I worked for a variety of different women's organisations. Lots of them were membership or network based where I got a real appreciation of the power in numbers, and also the importance of engaging members who have so much to give, but who maybe need some guidance to know how they can help or what they can do.
Ultimately the women's sector is quite small, quite underfunded, and after about five or six years I was quite exhausted from low paid jobs and I didn't really know where I was going, so I took a career break, which I though was just going to be a year, but it ended up being three years. I did something completely different with my life. I went to America and sang in a band!
I eventually thought I'd had enough of a break. I really missed the women's sector and I felt I needed to do something a bit differently. I wasn't that healthy or happy in the women's sector before, so I decided to develop a freelance career, and I was lucky enough to get a part time job as a Policy Officer at Maternity Action and then at The Fawcett Society, which left me over half my week to do my freelance work, which I've been doing for about four years now.
The work of the Women's Budget Group
I've been involved in the Women's Budget Group for ages. I started off as their coordinator way back in 2008, and then whilst I was in America I was on the policy advisory group because it was a writing and research role, so I was able to do it long-distance. When I got back to the UK I joined the Management Committee, and I've been on it ever since.
The Women's Budget Group is about analysing economic policy and saying: "What impact is this going to have on men and women, and how equal they are?" We have lots of academics who are there to crunch the numbers and to get into the nitty gritty. I'm not an academic, I'm an activist, but I suppose I see my role in the Women's Budget Group as trying to communicate all of this vital, interesting academic work in a way that is going to engage the public.
At the moment I'm running a series of workshops across the country – so in Bristol in the South West, in East Anglia, in Manchester and in Glasgow. We're bringing together feminists, because in the last few years we've seen a real resurgence in feminism, with lots of new feminist groups starting up and it's really exciting, but a lot of those people are campaigning on things like sexual harassment or page three, and not really entering the economic sphere.
What would 'good London' look like from a feminist perspective
Here I am talking about what a good London would like for women… More info on Good London here.
Going on the Today Programme
As someone who is dedicated to feminist economics I understand that this is (wrongly) considered by most to be quite a niche subject and will rarely warrant discussion on national radio programmes. So you can imagine my delight when I was asked to appear on BBC Radio 4's the Today Programme to discuss this very issue.
It was all thanks to Yvette Cooper who in her leadership speech in Manchester had said we must organise the family in a feminist manner, so Today thought they would get some of us on to discuss it. You can listen here until it expires – I'm endeavouring to permalink. I'm on in the last 10 minutes of the programme.
Talking about the government's latest budget on Russia Today
Feminist economics at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation
I was delighted to be asked to come and discuss feminist economics at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation in York. I did two sessions – the first was a general talk about the ways in which gender interacts with the economy, you can see that session captured in the video below. The second was a session for the policy staff who asked a lot of tough questions! We looked more specifically at some of the measures the Women's Budget Group advocate for in order to create a more equal society.
Great to be up in York with you all!
Talking about feminist economics on the Weekly Economics Podcast
I had an excellent time last week joining the Weekly Economics Podcast as their first ever guest. This week I was talking about the Women's Budget Group response to the Budget 2015 and what 'social infrastructure' really means. I'll be sure to link to the podcast once it's published.
Resist! Against a precarious future
I was really delighted to be part of this book. I've written an essay on how care work makes the world go round and it's part of this collection. We're crowd funding for the £2k publishing costs to get it out as a free e-book and although we have some of the costs covered by the publisher we still need a bit of money. Here is the blurb, please consider giving some money there are some awesome perks!:
Resist! is the third book in the Radical Future series: publications written and edited by young* activists, journalists and artists calling for radical alternatives to the status quo. We're interested in social justice, liberation and collectivity, and the ways young people are organising to create change. If you think mainstream politics is a dismal failure and you still have hope we can do better, this book is for you.
The first book in the series, Radical Future: Politics for the next generation, was written before the 2010 election (remember back when things were bad, but we had no idea how much worse they were going to get?). The follow up, Regeneration, was published in 2012, and received over 50,000 downloads.
Resist! includes chapters about youth activist movements, re-envisioning work, feminist economics, direct action against the housing crisis, alternative media and organising after the London riots, from contributors like feminist campaigner Polly Trenow, activist Wail Qasim and openDemocracy journalist Adam Ramsay. It is edited by journalist and openDemocracy editor Ray Filar.
We're really excited about this next book and can't wait to get it published.
But to get there, we need your help.
Like the first two books in the series, we want to make Resist! as accessible as possible by also offering it as a free ebook (as well as a paperback version). But ironically, publishing a free ebook is expensive. The publisher, Lawrence & Wishart, is covering most of the costs, but we need help with the final £2000. And we need it sharpish to get it out before the general election. So that's why we're asking you to donate. Your money will go towards typesetting, copy editing, proofing, and promotion.
We've put together some amazing rewards. As well as beautiful merchandise designed by our talented cover artist Yoav Segal, we're harnessing the talents, pub-debating skills and canal boats of our contributors. We're offering prints that you can put on your wall, and tote bags with our cover art on. You'll also find a great selection of workshops, excursions and experimental fun, all there to encourage you to part with your cash.
If we get more money than our target, we'll divide it up to pay everyone who has given their time for free. Anything over that we'll put towards the next book in theRadical Future series. You can read the first two books in the series right now. For free!
The full list of contributing authors to Resist! Against a Precarious Future are:
Sarah Allan, Craig Berry, Matthew Cheeseman, Rhiannon Colvin, Sean Farmelo, Ray Filar, Robbie Gillett, Deborah Grayson, Noel Hatch, Izzy Koksal, Ben Little, Wail Qasim, Adam Ramsay, Niki Seth-Smith, Mike Shaw, Polly Trenow, Matt Adam Williams.

Adventures at Unison Women's Conference
Last month I was delighted to be invited to present at Unison Women's Conference in
Southport on behalf of the Women's Budget Group. Last year I also presented at the Local Government Conference and there was a lot of enthusiasm for my analysis of local government spending and the impact on gender equality. I also gave a similar talk to the Essex Feminist Collective who were the ones who recommended me to speak at Unison.
It was a fascinating morning as the caucus passed motions. Much to my delight
one of these motions was a call to continue to work closely with the Women's Budget Group on the ongoing impacts of austerity on women, which was an
excellent start to the day.
In the afternoon I was presenting in the main conference hall which was slightly terrifying. We first looked at some of the problems with economic theory which is predicated on the household male-breadwinner model and does not have any means for understanding how resources are split within the household. Secondly there is a total failure by mainstream economics to take into account the impact of unpaid care work. We then moved to local government and looked at equality impact assessments. These can be quite dry but they are a good tool to show how the basics of gender budget analysis works.
It was a fantastic day and I am looking forward to working with Unison more closely this year.

Sometimes, when we attempt to place a digital signature into a PDF file using a software designed specifically for the purpose, an error message bearing any one of the following description:
The Windows Cryptographic Service Provider reported an error. Invalid provider type specified, invalid signature, security broken, code 2148073504 or keyset does not exist
The issue in most cases arises due to outdated certificates or corrupted settings in the registry. So, the first thing you may want to do is reset or recreate the user's profile in domain to check the result.
Cryptographic Service Provider reported an error
According to Microsoft, a cryptographic service provider (CSP) contains implementations of cryptographic standards and algorithms. At a minimum, a CSP consists of a dynamic-link library (DLL) that implements the functions in CryptoSPI (a system program interface). Providers implement cryptographic algorithms, generate keys, provide key storage, and authenticate users.
If you face errors, here are a few things you may want to try:
1] Run services.msc and restart the Windows Cryptographic Service.
2] Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options. Select the Content Tab and click on Certificates. Check if there is a certificate for the program or the provider which is giving out errors. If it is missing you will have to create a new one. If it is expired, remove it and create a new one. If a particular certificate does not work, choose a different certificate and remove the old certificates.
5] Reinstall the entire certificate store and the user's certificates.
6] If you have the SafeNet Authentication Client Tool application installed on your system, open the app by navigating to its installation directory or by right clicking the SafeNet icon in system tray and selecting Tools from the menu.
Click the 'gear' shaped icon to access the Advanced View section. Under Advanced View section, expand Tokens and navigate to the certificate you want to use for signing. You can locate them under User certificates group.
Next, right click on your certificate and choose Set as CSP from drop down menu. Repeat the same step for all certificates that you're using.
Close SafeNet Authentication Client Tools and try signing the documents again.
7] Recreate Microsoft Cryptography's Local Store folder. Navigate to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA folder. Rename the folder labeled S-1-5-18. Restart your system and see if it helps.
8] If you have ePass2003 software installed, the cause for the problem could be the ePass2003 e-token. It is advisable to have it uninstalled in the first place and reinstall it. For this, go to Settings section of the tool, navigate to Apps and features and uninstall it just like any other application.
Restart your computer and install ePass2003 again. At the time of re-installation make sure that you select MicroSoft CSP when choosing CSP option. Things should revert back to normalcy and Windows cryptographic service provider error should no more appear.
All the best!

One of the most difficult areas of accountancy to understand at first is the concept of double entry bookkeeping, which can seem like learning a foreign language.
If you have not studied accountancy previously, you will probably be wondering what double entry bookkeeping is, so let's start at the beginning.
Every financial transaction that takes place needs recording into the accounting records, and requires at least two entries, hence "double entry". These entries will comprise of a debit entry in one account, and a credit entry in another. Let's work through an example:
A business pays rent of £1000 for the month by cash. This will need to be recorded in the accounts, and the two entries that are made must balance.
The two sides of this transaction are the rent and the cash. Transactions need to be categorised as either assets, liabilities, income or expenditure.
In this example the rent is the expenditure, as it is a general running cost of the business. The cash is an asset, as it is something that the business owns.
The next step is to decide whether the accounts are increasing or decreasing. This will enable you to work out whether the accounts need to be debited or credited.
In this example, the amount that has been spent on rent has increased. The amount of cash that we have has decreased. You can then use an acronym such as PEARLS to work out which side is a debit and which side is a credit:
|Source of funds (capital)
For our example, the rent account is an expense, and has increased, so will therefore be debited.
The cash account, on the other hand, is an asset, but has been decreased. When an asset is increased it is debited; therefore, when it is decreased it is credited.
Whether you need to become familiar with double entry bookkeeping for your current job, future career, or another reason, it's a good idea to study a short course such as AAT level 2 Bookkeeping, where you'll cover the basics and more.

When his grandmother rescued him, Christopher Johnson was a toddler living unsupervised in an apartment with his teenage siblings, left behind by his mother and surviving mostly on hot dogs, cereal and fast-food chicken.
Though Cleaster Johnson is disabled, unemployed and raising three other grandchildren, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services saw her as a suitable caretaker of her 6-year-old grandson. But instead of recommending that the case be heard in juvenile court, where she could become a foster parent eligible for a monthly stipend and free medical care for Christopher, child-welfare workers steered her to probate court to obtain legal guardianship, Johnson said.
No one explained, she said, that going to probate court meant she would bear the financial burden of caring for her son's child and that DCFS would have no long-term obligation.

Caught in the Cookie Jar
The Christmas tree selling spree has begun for my family and it's proven to be quite interesting. There is too much to be agreed upon by a lot of different people and that is causing some conflict. I guess I see firsthand now why it's better to have just one boss to make the decisions to sink or swim with or why some people say never to work with family. Beyond that though we all trust each other and have been handling the money just fine. On the other hand, we did have two outside-of-the-family workers who are now gone because we caught them both pocketing money. They only worked two days and already showed they aren't trustworthy. I don't know if it's the bad economy or just greed, but we are two for two. If some other cousins lived anywhere close we wouldn't have to deal with outside help, but they don't and not everybody can fly in for a month. So with several people inquiring for work, we will go onto our next set of workers and hope that they will keep their hands out of the cookie jar.
Anyway, we continue on selling Christmas trees and I continue on at DDA doing flash programming, animation, and such. At least at DDA we don't have 15 people in charge so final decisions can be rendered much more easily, though everybody still gets to put their two cents in. The years of business have turned DDA into a finely-tuned machine with 7 divisions that are all micromanaged and turns out project after project in one of our many areas. It could be print design, copywriting, corporate video, website programming, or something else. We could be working on pretty much anything media related at any time because we have a gigantic list of services to choose from and everything is done in house.

Only the deserving win crown
NEW YORK - Now that we are assured of the longest gap without a Triple Crown winner - as a result of the defeat of Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Funny Cide in the Belmont Stakes - let's keep the despair in check.
For the fifth time in the last seven years, and for the ninth time since Affirmed last swept the Triple Crown in 1978, a horse's Triple Crown dreams died in the Belmont. Although this may be agonizing for those who have never seen a Triple Crown winner, the fact is, these sorts of frustrations are not unprecedented. In a 14-year period during what was previously the longest drought - the 25 years between Citation in 1948 and Secretariat in 1973 - seven horses failed to complete the sweep in the Belmont, including four horses in the six years from 1966 through 1971.
Two years after that, Secretariat began a run that saw three Triple Crown winners within six years, a run that is also not without parallel. In the eight years from 1941 through 1948, four horses swept the Triple Crown.
All of this is meant to say that so many recent near-misses suggest that there will be another Triple Crown winner, probably sooner rather than later. This is expecially likely, when you consider the course this game seems to be taking. The field of only six in Saturday's Belmont Stakes seemed to be the culmination of several influences, including the scarcity of genuinely top-class horses and the general disinclination of horsemen to damage their win percentages by placing their horses in races they have little chance of winning. These trends show no signs of flagging. Even with the annual ballyhoo over field size in the Kentucky Derby, there has not been a maximum starting field of 20 in the Derby since 1984.
When there is another Triple Crown winner, he will be worthy of the honor. That is because the requirements - three races in five weeks over three racetracks in three states at three distances - have an uncanny knack of exposing those who are not worthy. Funny Cide is a thoroughly likeable, talented, expertly trained performer, and we all pray he stays healthy so that we can enjoy him for years to come. But, he was not Triple Crown worthy. And, the signs were there well before he had to deal with his third race in five weeks and 12 furlongs and a sloppy track Saturday.
This Triple Crown was somewhat reminiscent of 1997, when it was nearly swept by Silver Charm. As good a horse as Silver Charm was, he was lucky to be going for the Triple Crown heading into the Belmont. Touch Gold, who did not start in that year's Derby, had one of the worst trips in recent Triple Crown history in the Preakness. It was a miracle he finished fourth, and everyone except the most emotionally blinded knew Touch Gold would have won that Preakness with any kind of fair trip. He gained his revenge in the Belmont, and he did so on only three healthy feet. In the last two races of the 1997 Triple Crown, Touch Gold was simply a better horse than Silver Charm.
Similarly, a strong argument can be made that Funny Cide was not the best horse in this series. As I have said before, Empire Maker might have been best finishing second in the Derby - his training was compromised and he had a tougher trip - and he was clearly the best horse in the Belmont.
The Belmont also confirmed that the widespread support Ten Most Wanted received in the Kentucky Derby was not misplaced, and that in the case of Dynever there was no substitute for keeping good company and running fast.
Just as Empire Maker gained redemption for winning, Ten Most Wanted did the same in finishing a strong second, erasing the bad taste of his dismal ninth in the Derby. Many people who jumped on Ten Most Wanted's bandwagon before the Derby on the basis of his strong win in the Illinois Derby were calling his Illinois Derby a fluke afterward. But, Ten Most Wanted proved that a wiser approach is being able to forgive a good horse one bad performance, especially when the price is right.
As for fig-challenged Dynever, he proved that flashy records compiled against third- and fourth-rate opposition hold as much water as a sieve. In the Triple Crown, it is necessary to be battle tested against the best.
At least there was one Triple Crown completed Saturday - a Triple Crown of bizarre odds. Ten Cents a Shine got the ball rolling in the Kentucky Derby where, instead of being 150-1 off a series of horrendous races, he was only 37-1. He ran more like a 150-1 shot, however, finishing eighth. Then Cherokee's Boy, who had never even gotten close to a triple digit Beyer Speed Figure, was only 9-1 in the Preakness. He managed to beat two horses. But, Supervisor may have taken the cake in the Belmont. Supervisor's morning line of 50-1 was actually generous considering he lost 13 of 15 starts, and his best Beyer was 89, 25 points below Funny Cide's best. Yet, Supervisor closed at less than 15-1. Who are these people that bet these horses down? Can we get them to come to the track every day? Please?

Get Your Bike On With New Bases From Tabletop-Art
November 30, 2013 by brennon
Tabletop-Art are continuing to be stunning people with their release of some new bases for your bikers, be they jet or wheel based I would hazard! Check out the different styles on offer.
While it's hard to imagine a bike being able to fit into some of the places these bases are representing it is cool none the less. I like the amount of detail they have worked into them and they would provide a very neat alternative to the regular basing material you'd probably be using.
My favourite has to be the Shale Ground as I could imagine the bikes powering over that or the second prize goes to Trench Warfare. I think that would suit some Imperial Guard Rough Riders to a tee.
What do you think chaps and chapettes?

(SEATTLE, WA.) -- The Research Network on Misdemeanor
Justice at John
Jay College of Criminal Justice has announced Seattle is one of
six cities selected to join New York City as part of the Network,
according to a statement by Seattle Police.
The Research Network is a national alliance of seven
jurisdictions that will examine trends in the enforcement and
disposition of lower-level offenses at a local level and, for the first
time, at a cross-jurisdictional level.
The Network works with research institutions, data partners
and stakeholders and aims to build data infrastructure at a local
It also seeks to inform smarter criminal justice policies that
enhance public safety, increase public trust in the police, and
implement fiscally responsible policies particularly surrounding
behaviors that involve officer discretion.
The core sites, which are Los Angeles, CA; Toledo, OH; Durham,
NC; Prince George's County, MD and St. Louis, MO will use data
analytics to inform policy discussions and reform regarding trends in
the enforcement of lower level offenses.
Through a $3.25-million, three-year grant from the Laura and John
Arnold Foundation (LJAF), the Research Network builds upon
the success of the Misdemeanor Justice Project in New York City.
"We are excited to work with the core sites and to help inform
their policy decisions on critical issues regarding the role of the
criminal justice system in responding to low-level misconduct," said
President Jeremy Travis of John Jay College.
The selection criteria for the six new sites included a
commitment toward evidence-based reform in their local jurisdiction and
the availability of high quality administrative data on arrests for
lower level offenses, summonses, pedestrian stops and case outcome data
including pretrial detention.
The Research Network received 39 proposals. The local research
partners are Seattle University, University of California, Los Angeles,
University of Toledo, North Carolina Central University, University of
Maryland, and University of Missouri – St. Louis.
Enforcement of lower-level offenses has a profound impact on
the criminal justice system. It can overwhelm the courts and delay case
processing, often resulting in large numbers of individuals held on
pretrial detention. It is also this high volume activity that serves as
the basis of public's opinion of the police and their assessment of the
legitimacy of the criminal justice system.
"The Seattle Police Department uses real-time quantitative and
qualitative data to inform our decision making," said Seattle Police
Chief Kathleen O'Toole. "We appreciate this opportunity to share our
knowledge and learn from our partners while developing effective
strategies to address low-level offenses."
Seattle's selection as one of the sites in the Network is
described by SPD as an, "Uunprecedented opportunity to examine trends
in misdemeanor arrests, pretrial detention, and detention in Seattle as
part of a national network of academic-agency partnerships.
Misdemeanors are the largest entry point into the criminal justice
system and what occurs at this stage of the criminal justice process is
critical to increasing capacity for justice and decrease in disparities
in arrest, pretrial detention, conviction, and incarceration."
The Seattle University's Department of Criminal Justice
faculty Drs. Jacqueline Helfgott and William Parkin are partnering with
the Seattle Police Department, Seattle City Attorney's Office, the City
of Seattle Office of City Auditor, Municipal Court of Seattle, King
County Prosecutor's Office, King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office,
and King County Department of Adult & Juvenile Detention for
this three year research collaboration.
The Research Network was launched in 2016 and is based on the
successful experience of the Misdemeanor
Justice Project (MJP), a research initiative at John Jay
College led by Professor Chauhan. With support from the Laura and John
Arnold Foundation, MJP has published a series of reports examining
trends in the enforcement of low-level offenses in New York City and
State including misdemeanor
arrests, criminal
summonses, and pedestrian
stops as well as jail
These studies have substantially informed criminal justice
reform efforts now underway in New York.

What are Health Benefits of Standing? A new study shows that those who spend more time standing, in comparison with those who sit more often, were associated with all the health benefits of standing. This includes lower fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol. In the study, researchers attached a monitor to almost seven hundred participants over a seven day period. Later the researchers found that every additional two hours spent sitting were significantly associated with a higher body mass index and waist circumference.
Health Benefits of Standing: SPENDING MORE TIME SITTING INCREASES ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY
A lot of research has been done on the detriments on sitting. A recent meta-analysis found that those who spend a lot of time sitting in chairs face a higher all-cause mortality risk, independent of whether or not they exercised after sitting. Exercise has been shown to lead clear benefits for adults and children who lead otherwise high sedentary lifestyles.
The study also found that replacing two hours a day of sitting time with stepping was associated with a lower BMI, lower triglycerides, and higher HDL cholesterol. This study offered an important contribution to the amount of evidence pointing to the need to avoid sedentary behavior.
Health Benefits of Standing: ACTIVITY WHILE AT WORK BURNS MORE CALORIES THAN WORKING OUT
A person who walks at work for two hours, stands for another four hours, and does daily chores at home for one hour will burn more calories in a day than those who jog or run for one hour. Data was taken from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study. It began in 2000 but underwent its third data collection in 2011 and 2012.

Restorative Practices for Schools: A Resource
Authors: Wendy Drewery and The Restorative Practices Development Team
Published: 2003
This Kete (resource booklet) is a response to the interest shown by colleagues in schools in New Zealand, as well as by colleagues internationally, in the foundational work we at the University of Waikato School of Education did in restorative conferencing and restorative practices in schools in the early 2000s.
This Kete was prepared with a view to informing those who may be considering introducing the practices into their school. It gives an overview of the philosophy of restorative practice, describes the process of restorative conversation (including formal conferencing), and offers recommendations about things to consider in introducing the practices into schools.
The Kete contains resources that can be used to guide the development of understanding and facilitation of restorative conversations. We offer you these resources in the hope that they will help you forward your own work on developing practices of respect in your school.
This resource is now available for free download online. (PDF 2.8MB)

Hey everyone!
I have a giveaway going on my Let's Talk Books FB page here. You have until midnight EST to enter!
It was a year ago today that I made my first blog post. Not knowing if anyone would read it. 😉 I wanted to start a blog to discuss books I've loved and hopefully connect with like-minded people.
Here is my first blog post:
It's My Birthday So Let's Swoon
I made a list of my favorite male characters, while also staying true to who I am. Which is far from professional at times and closer to "how old are you?"
As a result of that first post on this blog, I met the most wonderful, giving, thoughtful, and book-slutty friends EVER! Love you girls!
I've learned a lot in the past year about blogging, social media, and writing. I'm actually a very shy person. So connecting with other authors and bloggers has been a slow process for me. But the ones I have connected with– I consider friends. Great friends.
Now let's get some more swoon on!!
First up — Jerricho Barrons from The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning
And there never were truer words!!
Folks, I can't even PUT Jericho in a category with other fictional characters. He is seriously in a league of his own and guess what?? I'd be in fictional world heaven if I had one night with him. Yeah, I said it.
Jericho Barrons is unforgiving, crude, ruthless, and lethal. He has his goals and there are no apologies made. He is also fiercely protective of Mac, who he calls Ms. Lane. He believes she is the key to accomplishing his goals… yet there a few parts in the first 4 books that we see a different side of Barrons; he loves her. He, in fact, cherishes Mac.
The love that developes between these two is like nothing you've read, or will ever read.
"I watched you die. I need to fuck you, Mac."
His words slam into me like bullets… It is not a request. It is an acknowledgement of a requirement to make it from one moment to the next.
When I read those lines in book #5, I stopped reading, made a glass of wine and settled in for Barrons the half man/half ____. <– It's a secret. 😉 A delicious one.
The Fever Series came out in 2006. I have no clue how I missed it all this time. And right now– who cares? I was able to read 5 books back to back. Thank God.
Next– Wilson from A DIFFERENT BLUE by Amy Harmon.
Okay, I love Wilson. I love his accent, patience, brain, chest, and sense of humor. But overall– I loved this book. So hard I think about all these characters everyday.
Sound over-the-top? Yeah well, go watch the first 10 minutes of the movie UP… get through that and come back and tell me you will ever forget Mr. Fredricksen.
There were moments in this book I am certain I will never forget (oh lord, I'm tearing up as I type this…), I've analyzed my life, past, future, and goals. Blue Echohawk feels like a long lost friend, and dammit! I want to hug her. This author floored me with just a few words. For Blue– they held so much meaning… "more labels". I want to kick anyone's ass who has ever wronged this girl. I want to bring her daddy back for just a day so she can say goodbye. I want EVERYONE WHO READS THIS TO CLICK ON THE COVER PIC AND BUY A COPY FROM AMAZON.
Give yourself this gift. You will not regret it.
And finally… my love… my angel… my book boyfriend. Reed Wellington from The Premonition Series by Amy A Bartol.
oh Reed…
I've already done a character profile on him. So I'll be lazy and repost!! ❤
–Charcoal gray wings that SNAP open in response to Evie's wings. IT'S SO HOT! The way all these angel's wings involuntarily communicate with one another, I swear it's better than any sex scene you could read. Wait! I'm forgetting about the shower in book #4. More on that later.
–Primal growls that are so animalistic in nature, a contrast to this divine & fine (Oh, I rhyme!) angel.
– Speaks Angel and it's beautiful, musical. No Earthly language has the proper words to describe Reed's love for his girl!! Hell yea!
– Lightning fast, can crush stone in his hand, wings, rippling perfect muscles, wings, bares the symbol of Evie on his chest!, wings, he is so cocky that I cannot help but believe that he is indeed the best at everything.
When my crush turned into stalker mode and Jace Wayland (Mortal Instruments) no longer existed:
Reed and Evie are driving in the car. He is overwhelmed with the need for Evie to know the real him. He carries Evie (lightning fast speed) to his bedroom and shows her his wings. She touches them and they twitch in response to her fingers. SO HOT!
***She also finds a sculpture that he made OF HER on his bedside table. (Does he sit and stare at it when he is in bed? How long does he stare at it? What goes through his mind?)***
Team Reed!!
Ah, that's better. Moving on…
When I completely lost my sh*t:
Training with Zee, Russell, Reed, and Evie.
Normally Reed is kept out of the training room. He can't handle watching Evie sparing with Zee, the other Power angel. Reed decides to see "what Evie can do" ( Evie is half angel, fast, and can hold her own). They are sparing. Evie is running on the walls and jumping off things coming within inches of Reed with knives. He is so impressed – BEYOND THAT—this Power angel is so crazed turned on that he throws his weapons to the floor and catches Evie midair.
When fiction and reality blurred and I hated my hottie husband for not being Reed:
Book #4 INCENDIARY — REED'S POINT OF VIEW, first person ( meaning that the voice you are reading is Reed's. Inside his head, his thoughts.) HUGE battle is over for now. Evie almost died. Evil Brennus almost took Evie again. Well folks, it makes for one hot, I almost lost you, let's have sex moment. But, that's not what did it for me. In the shower, Reed speaks to Evie's soul in angel. Telling her soul that he knows it belongs to Russell… but he'll wait an eternity and some day all of Evie will be his.
(I might have put my own spin on that!? Basically, that is what happened)
*deep breath* & *wipes tears* & *God, please make Reed real*
His wings were also spread during this – ruffling and twitching and so were hers. Then he tells her, "I can't be gentle"… she's all, "just touch me"… and the tile is cracking.

Hello universe and beyond. I am Joe Kyle and I welcome you to the Inaugural Post for The Salesforce Apprentice – a blog where I will post weekly reports and updates on my continuing journey toward Salesforce mastery.
Yawn, another Salesforce blog.
"Preposterous!" you cry, "The last thing we need is another blog about Salesforce. Such a foolhardy endeavor." And yet I forge ahead despite the existence of many well-established beacons-burning-brightly of Salesforce knowledge on the Internet. Every galaxy has its gassy upstarts.
"But really Joe, why bother?" Well with the growing popularity and adoption of Salesforce I believe there is also a growing demand for people who can support Salesforce end-users. And these burgeoning admins and developers are at various stages of Salesforce understanding. The fact is many of us are not Salesforce experts yet. We are people who are actively learning and we measure our Salesforce expertise in months, weeks, days, or hours, rather than in years. And heck, we are very bright and capable people who just happen to be learning a new skill. No shame in that. We'll catch up, and along the way we can support one another. These are my people.
Joe Kyle, A Brief History of Folly, Burning Tractors, and Words From a Master
Being persistent is a good thing. However being persistent beyond the point where any rational person would cut his or her losses is folly. By November of 2015 I had worn a deep and fruitless groove in my life having attempted for over ten years to harvest a career in my chosen field of marketing. Clearly it was not to be. So in disgust I flipped my marketing tractor into a ditch, set it on fire using my MBA as kindling, and walked back to civilization in search of a new career.
Not long after, I found myself sharing a meal with an old friend who happens to be a Salesforce legend. A Salesforce Supernova.
"Joe" my friend said, "with your background in marketing, sales, business development, writing, graphic design, and analytics, if you can learn Salesforce you'll have a great career."
Since that evening I have absorbed all of John Copperedge's website Certified On Demand, I've achieved the rank of Expeditioner on Salesforce Trailhead by capturing 52 badges, and I passed the Salesforce Admin 201 exam. (After failing it the first time – more about that in a future post.) I've also been lucky enough to get some hands-on experience in Salesforce with my current employer.
What to Expect From The Salesforce Apprentice
In simple terms this blog will serve as a travel journal as I explore the Continent of Salesforce making note of its crowded cities, lush countrysides, its oddities, and its wonders.
Some broad categories worthy of discussion will include: Trailhead, getting certified, staying certified, what do employers care about, accidents, incidents, Salesforce fame, finding work, and in general, the efforts of a Salesforce Apprentice.
I also hope to offer some encouragement and solidarity with others who may be at the same point on the Salesforce learning curve. You are not alone my friends.
Thanks for reading, keep an eye out for my next post. Let's just see how this goes.
Yours Declaratively,
Joe Kyle

There are some common myths out there when it comes to weight loss. One is counting calories. I believe by now I have dispelled that counting calories is even important just based on the dietary guidelines I've taught you along with an understanding of how your blood sugar works. Just so you understand, calorie counting is NOT critical or even necessary. Please realize that the lie is that a calorie is just a calorie and all calories are created equal. NOT SO.
Calories have impacts on our hormones and restricting them or yo-yo-dieting can cause hormonal chaos. 1000 calories of sugar versus 1000 calories of meat will each have a completely different impact on our hormones. What impact those calories have on your hormonal environment is what dictates weight loss and weight gain.
Hormones drive weight loss and weight gain. Insulin, namely when too high and in excess on an ongoing basis will cause the body to turn on the fat storing mechanisms. When we manipulate the situation and eat in such a way to avoid this excess insulin, by reducing excess sugar/carbs or improving certain minerals we can turn off that fat storage mechanism.
We can turn on the fat burning mechanism by getting our blood sugar stable or even allowing it to be a bit lower than what is consider normal we can actually turn on glucagon the fat burning hormone. Sugar and carbs are fat inflators and most people have some degree of carbohydrate intolerance today and a lot of that has to do with missing minerals and a modern day diet.
Counting Calories Causes Hormonal Chaos
Here is what happens when you excessively restrict calorie or skip meals:
- You will feel hungrier. Your body responds to restricted calories by releasing hormones that stimulate appetite. You could say it's a built in defense/protection mechanism.
- Your level of thyroid hormone decreases. This causes a slow down in your metabolism.
- Stress hormone increases in response to the physical stress of skipped meals or insufficient carbohydrate intake.
- Reproductive function will slow down due to shifts in sex hormone output thanks to insufficient calories.
- Cell regeneration and tissue repair are inhibited
Please do not buy into any dietary plan that asks you to restrict caloric intake as it will only wreak havoc in the near future. It's simply not sustainable.
Hopefully, this helps drive home that you must eat plenty of food to have a healthy metabolism to begin with and as you heal and eat all that food, you need to adequately digest that food (which we are all working on) – you will also need to rebuild minerals to better manage your blood sugar and support your liver because it's got a big role to play too.
The whole body works together – but it can take some time establishing the 'foundation' for your health to accelerate and the weight to start to come off and stay off. Hang in there folks – I know a lot of you want to lose weight, but counting calories is not the way to do it. Your body needs and runs on nutrients – focus on getting adequate nourishment in your diet. Food that actually feeds your body, not processed food. Whole, real foods that do not require a label to tell you what is in them.

I found that the Palazzo Vecchio is open on Monday and it's in the Piazza della Signoria, which in itself, is a sight to see. Also, nearby is the Basilica Santa Croce, very highly recommended. And also near the Piazza, Palazzo Strozzi might interest you. On Sunday afternoon you might try the Bargello museum, or wander across the Arno to see the Ponte Vecchio and the Oltrano district, and Piazzale Michelangelo, which provides a lovely view of the city from high on a hill. And of course, get yourselves some gelato and people watch! Sorry, can't help with questions about Sienna! Enjoy your trip!

KINGMAN – Kingman Academy boys basketball coach Brian Devincenzi came into the season believing his Tigers could win a 2A state championship once his team was complete. Point guard David Larrabee returned to the lineup in January and led them to eight wins in a row, taking the 2A West Region.
Kingman Academy drew the No.1 seed (Pima) in the state tournament. In order to pull off an upset, Devincenzi believed his team needed to do two things: One, all five players would had to play as a team and contribute. Second, they would have to play a whole game.
In heartbreaking fashion the Tigers did one of the two needed to win. They played as a team, but couldn't put two halves together as they lost, 64-47, on Friday afternoon at Yavapai Community College.
"We didn't execute in the second half, like we did in the first," Devincenzi said.
Kingman Academy was not intimated by the bigger Roughriders as they found a way to keep 6-foot-6 Jarrett Kartchner in check. In the first quarter, the Tigers continually pushed the tempo and lead 15-11 at the end of the period.
In the second quarter, Kingman Academy mixed and matched defenses and received enough offense to go into the locker room tied 25-25, believing they could win.
"I told them at half, they knew they deserved to be there," Devincenzi said.
In the second half with Pima's big men not a factor, the game turned when the Roughriders managed to take a six–point lead. The lead forced the Tigers out of their zone defense.
"We did well against their big guys," senior Cade Martin said "It was their guards and 3s that killed us."
With Kingman Academy missing shots on their end of the floor, the Roughriders went into a stall offense and spread the Tigers out on defense. Pima's big men would kick the ball out to a guard for open 3-point shot.
"We matched up with them pretty well," Larrabee said. "They did not miss from 3, so that killed us. They got a few easy baskets off our press."
"We had a successful year," Devincenzi said. "Our kids got a taste of what it's like to go to state and play for No.1. I think they want more."

For Finnish startup Wolt, 'fast food' is still not fast enough and they have unveiled a platform for anyone to cut the line and pre-order food or drinks from their favorite cafe.
The app developed by Wolt allows users to place orders (using the card of their choice), which can be customized, and have them waiting when the person shows up at the restaurant. Users start by checking out nearby places on the map, or selecting the restaurant, and then selecting items from the menu. After placing their order, users are offered regular updates on that status of order, letting them know when it is received, when it is being prepared, and when they can pick it up. It is cool that, having submitted your order, users can have the receipts automatically delivered to their accountant.
Wolt only launched last week, so it is a bit early to discuss traction. Juhani Mykkanen, a co-founder and the startup's current COO, tells me that their total number of users are "in the thousands." One factor currently limiting adoption of the platform is the fact that the service is currently only available on iOS, but they are planning to soon rectify that with the release of their Android app in April. Adoption of the service should also be aided by geographic expansion, as they are already targeting a move into the rest of Europe. Mykkanen reports that Wolt has already facilitated several deals in Berlin.
Mykkanen states that the company is backed by 400,000 Euro that they have obtained from Finnish venture firms Inventure and Lifeline Ventures, as well as high-profile angel investors Risto Siilasmaa, who is the chairman of Nokia, and Supercell CEO Ilkka Paananen (through Lifeline).

Obama: America is More United Than Before
President Obama believes race relations in America have improved since he took office in 2009, and said in a new interview Americans are less divided along racial lines.
In a short excerpt of an NPR interview released today, the president was asked whether the country is more divided along racial lines now, six years after he took office. Race has been at the forefront of some of the most major stories of the year, from Michael Brown to Donald Sterling.
But Obama said, "No, I actually think that it's probably in its day-to-day interactions less racially divided."
At his last press conference of the year, the president responded to a question about race relations saying that black America, like the rest of the country, is better off overall under his presidency. And he pushed back against critics this week by asking why they would fight for America to change if they think it's an "inherently racist" country.
And when asked last month about people arguing the opposite, Obama had this to say about race relations amidst issues like Ferguson:
"I think that folks on the other side of it might not understand why there are concerns or mistrust. Not because they're in denial, just they haven't experienced it. And so when people start seeing these instances, then they start saying 'Okay, maybe we understand what we're talking about.'"

Thanksgiving Egg Rolls With Spicy Cranberry Dipping Sauce
How to Make It
In a large bowl combine the stuffing, potatoes, turkey, carrot, and brussels sprouts. Working one at a time, place a wrapper on a flat work surface so that it forms a diamond shape. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the stuffing mixture onto the lower third of the diamond so that it forms a horizontal strip. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling and roll once. Tuck the sides of the wrapper inwards over the filling and roll it once more. Wet the remaining point of the wrapper with a wet fingertip and roll it over the rest of the wrapper to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet or cast iron pan until the oil registers 375° F on an instant read thermometer. Working in several batches, fry the egg rolls, turning them occasionally, until they are a deep golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce with the Sriracha. Serve egg rolls immediately with spicy cranberry sauce and gravy for dipping, if desired.

Are you looking for a powerful garbage disposal for everyday use? Is having a silent and efficient unit important for you? Well, we have good new for you. Moen developed a model with these features in mind. The Moen GXS75C is smaller and more compact than other models of similar power, so you won't have any problems fitting it under your sink, even if you use a undermount kitchen sink. This garbage disposal model will produce 2,700 RPM of grinding power to dispose of your kitchen waste, and the sound deadening technology it uses makes it perfect for every household. Here are some other things you should know about this model:
- The universal Xpress mount feature allows you to install this model on most of the existing 3-bolt mounting assemblies.
- The continuous feed operating mode breaks down kitchen scraps as long as the disposer is powered on
- The 2,700 RPM motor reaches its top speed instantly, so it jams rarely.
Check The Latest Price on Amazon!
DesignThe Moen GXS75C is small enough to fit under your kitchen sink. This unit measures 9.7 x 9.7 x 14.9 inches and weighs 13.2 lbs. You will be able to install this unit by yourself, thanks to the Xpress Mount easy installation feature. If you're replacing your old unit and it also used a 3-bolt mounting assembly, chances are this model can be installed on the existing assembly without any modifications. If this is your first garbage disposal system, you can install this unit using the mounting components it comes with.
Size & Power / Noise
This disposal uses a 3/4 HP motor. The motor is capable of producing 2,700 RPM, and it reaches its top speed instantly after you turn it on, just like a power tool. This feature allows the garbage disposer to grind through the food waste as soon as you feed it, so it won't get jammed. The high speed allows this disposal model to grind through tougher foods. Even though this is a powerful disposal, it's also silent. The thick SoundShield Moen uses blocks most of the noise produced by the motor, so this unit will actually make less noise than other smaller and less powerful models.
Feed & Grinder
This model uses a continuous operating mode, so it will grind through everything you put in it as long as it's powered. Like all the other garbage disposal models Moen produces, the GXS75C uses a permanent magnet motor that is capable of reaching its top speed of 2,700 RPM as soon as you turn it on. This will help the disposal finely grind the food scraps quickly, reducing the number of jams you'll experience. The grinder has a galvanized steel construction, and it's corrosion resistant and durable.
Pros Of The Moen GXS75C
- The Moen GXS75C uses a 3/4 HP motor. This is one of the most frequently professionally recommended motor sizes for medium to large households, and it can handle soft and even some tough food scraps.
- This unit comes with a 5-year in-home warranty. You don't have to worry about the disposal breaking down. If it does, a licensed professional will come to repair it, free of charge.
- The SoundShield technology Moen uses to block the sound produced by this model's motor is one of the best available. This disposer is less noisy than other smaller models, so it will be a good choice for most households.
Cons Of The Moen GXS75C
- This disposal comes with a pre-installed power cord, so if you want to hardwire it, you will have to remove the cord.
- The powerful 3/4 HP motor can cause the whole unit to vibrate, so you have to make sure the disposal stays put after you install it if you want a silent grinding experience.
Do's / Don'ts
- Read the instructions manual the product comes with before you begin the installation
- If you don't know how to install the disposal after reading the instructions, contact a professional to ensure you don't void the warranty.
- Make sure the 3-bolt mounting assembly is firmly locked in place before you install the unit. If the assembly is moving even slightly it will make a lot of noise when the unit starts working.
Check The Latest Price on Amazon!
The Moen GXS75C is one of the most efficient garbage disposal units available on the market. With a motor of 3/4 HP capable of reaching a grinding speed of 2,700 RPM, the GXS75C is capable of grinding even some tough food scraps, like chicken or thin pig bones. If you like to cook, but you also care about the environment and you want to limit the amount of garbage you produce, this is one of the best disposal models you can buy today. We hope you found out all you needed to know about this model from this review, but if you're still not sure if this is the right disposal for you, check our other reviews.

Carl Hiaasen is at the top of his form in Bad Monkey, another over-the-top mystery that could only take place in Southern Florida. A detached arm and an almost hairless monkey are just for starters as Hiaasen unravels this hilarious yarn. I laughed out loud many times so this may not be the best book to read on a plane unless you want to explain to your seatmate the hilarity on nearly every page. This is the perfect beach read: smart, funny and not too taxing. Enjoy.— From Michael

BPM Digital are extremely excited to announce our partnership with the British Standards Institution (BSI) in joining their Associate Consultant Programme (ACP).
It's official! Our membership number is 396.
Founded in 1901 and internationally recognised, the BSI is the business standards company that helps organisations all over the world make excellence a habit. They provide assessment and certification for standards ranging from the sought-after Kitemark, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 to more industry specific standards such as BIM Level 2.
BPM Digital have teamed up with the BSI to help organisations validate their BIM Level 2 competency and gain accreditation.
As an independent certification body, the BSI are unable to consult on such standards directly – which is where we come in as part of the Associate Consultant Programme (ACP). The ACP connects organisations with independent consultants who can give them the expert advice they need. BPM Digital have been vetted by the BSI and have now been approved as a member to provide consultancy support for BIM Level 2.
Being a fully-fledged member of the programme demonstrates our experience and capability in the BIM world, our knowledge of the regulatory requirements, and our ability to embed this within other organisations – which is of course why we are excited to share the news!

In 1989, two 18-year-old Boston girls were abducted and raped by a gang of five men. Last January, the crime still unsolved and the statute of limitations about to expire, Suffolk County prosecutors obtained an indictment of "John Doe DNA," one of similar cases being pursued across the nation, reports the Boston Globe. The indictments allow cases to be kept open indefinitely. The approach originated in Milwaukee in 1999 and has spread to counties in Texas, California, New York, and other states. Last April, Congress allowed prosecutors to bring John Doe DNA indictments for federal sex offenses.
The idea is expected to expand further as states expand their DNA databases, which will allow the DNA profiles to be checked against criminals whose DNA is entered. "We're putting a lot of resources into this, but it's worth it," said Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley. "We want to give these victims a chance to get justice." Defense lawyers protest that DNA indictments are nothing more than a clever device to evade statute of limitations laws, which require a prosecutor to bring charges within a reasonable period of time after a crime has occurred, so a solid defense can be mounted. "It's a complete end run around all of the reasons we have for having a statute of limitations in the first place," said Harvey Silverglate, a Boston criminal defense attorney. "It abolishes, effectively, the statute of limitations in a case where there is DNA evidence."

For the 2018 NCC Autocross season we have made several changes to our vehicle classing.
BMW Classing
As with 2017, we will continue with our reduced BMW classing to just 6 classes; Showroom 1 & 2, Tuner 1, 2, 3 & Modified. There have been modifications to the classing of cars in these classes, as reflected below.
Each Group is aimed at grouping vehicles with similar performance capabilities. If your specific car is not listed below, please contact the classing coordinator to determine your class.
The Performance Class establishes the permitted modifications for each group. If a modification is not listed, it is NOT permitted.
NOTE: If the wheels and suspension items were FACTORY options on the model, it is permissible to interchange. BMWNA's recent offerings of "high performance dealer installed" items are a different, and are not permitted as a showroom allowance.
MINI Classing
All MINI's will be combined into a single PAX (theoretical performance) based group. The PAX numbers are based on the Class and Modifier. Base model MINIs are in the "3" class, and MINI S and JCW models are in the "2" class. The MINI Class Modifiers are in the table above. For example, a stock, base MINI with no modifications would be S3 and a John Cooper Works with non-factory installed springs would be in T2. Participants will need to register by choosing the MINI class then choosing a secondary BMW class (S2, S3, T2, T3, and M). The MINI PAX numbers will be based on the following:
PAX Class/Non-BMW Classing
All Non-BMW classes will be combined into a single PAX class. The PAX will be calculated using standard SCCA classes. The PAX class will also be open to BMW/MINI drivers who want to participate as well. Participants will need to register by choosing the PAX class then choosing a sub SCCA class. You can find details on how your car should be classed by referring to Appendix A of the 2018 SCCA Solo Rules Book.
Click here for the 2018 PAX Index.
Tires with lower than a 200 treadwear rating are considered competition tires.
As part of an effort to make classing more understandable, Bob Esser will be the point of contact for all classing related items. He can be reached at email@example.com.
If you are a regular top finisher at NCC Autocross or SCCA events you should register for Pro-PAX. This puts the best drivers in their own class. All standard PAX rules apply. Separate points and trophies will be awarded. If you are a BMW or MINI driver you may still complete in the BMW/MINI classes.
Novice Class
We have a class specifically for entry level drivers. "Novice" is defined as a participant that has three or less autocross events experience prior to January 1, 2018. This experience qualifier is not limited to NCC events and is inclusive of total autocross participation. Classing will be simple: Stock, Tuner, or Modified. Car type does not matter. To qualify you must have not attended more than 3 autocross events in previous seasons. This includes events with NCC, AI, CDC, and SCCA. This does not include autocross schools. (NOTE: You do not have to participate in the Novice class because you are a novice. You can choose either Novice or the class that best fits your car.)
2018 Trophy Qualification Rules
We have decided on the following guidelines for 2018 trophy qualification:
- All classes are eligible to receive trophies.
- A competitor must attend a minimum of FOUR (out of SIX) point events to qualify.
- If a competitor chooses to attend all seven events, his score will be based on his five best results.
- Ten points are awarded for a first place finish, nine points for a second place finish, eight points for a third place finish, etc.or BMW & MINI classes trophies will be awarded to the top three qualifying drivers in each class.
- For Non-BMW/PAX Class trophies will be awarded to the top third of qualifying drivers. Example: 15 qualifying drivers. Trophies awarded to the top 5. (This may be adjusted slightly at the committee's discretion.)

LOS ANGELES — Fun Factory has unveiled the ShakeDildo Bouncer, a silicone dildo that features three bulges that enclose a ball that rotates freely.
The ShakeDildo also features a curved shape that allows for G-spot or prostate stimulation.
"We often get inspiration for new toys from our customers — that's how Bouncer came about, too. We kept getting inquiries about a satisfying toy that has all the stature and flexibility of a dildo but is boosted by quiet stimulations," says Simone Kalz, head of production and product development, who oversaw the development of the Bouncer.
"The reactions from our test groups were super. Even experienced toy users found thrilling new arousal with the Bouncer and its three rotating balls. Beginners loved the diversity," she said.
The Bouncer also also a wide base that makes it suitable for anal use. The flat base also allows the Bouncer to be used with a harness and for pegging.
According to the company, the Bouncer's medical-grade silicone is easy to clean and even with the three enclosed balls flexibly adapts to any position.
Bouncer comes in black, candy rose and pink.

text: A friend of mine recently asked me how one would convert a .bmp font to a .ttf. I said I was unsure, but it got me thinking to how I would code a program to do that. How would someone who wants to create a .bmp to .ttf converter go about it? Is there some sort of documentation somewhere explaining how the .ttf file format works? And in addition to that, what about other file formats? Where do the people who code programs that create .jpegs or play .mp3s learn about how to properly read/write from those file formats? Is the information publicly available by somewhere?
